"Chicago White Sox, World Champions for 2005"
| |
It has been a long time coming, but the Chicago White Sox are finally the World Champions of Baseball for the first time in 88 years, since the days of Shoeless Joe Jackson and, of course, our beloved Buck Weaver, knowns as Bucky to Kid Gleason.
Right now, I bet that the entire 1919 World Series team is probably looking down on them and smiling about this World Championship won by this year's edition of the team, considering that they failed back in 1959 after destroying the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first game of that World Series only to lose 4 of the next 5 games, and then the Series to the Dodgers.
Yes, Shoeless Joe Jackson, Buck Weaver, Kid Gleason are all in tears of happiness now, along with Eddie Cicotte and Lefty Williams, who both regretted being a part of throwing the 1919 World Series. And I am sure that that Chick Gandil, the mastermind of it all, could also appreciate this as well.
But the question is, how long is going to last? Like the Boston Red Sox, are they going to start to falter the following year? Or, like the 1997 Florida Marlins, will this team be immediately disbanded? These are question we, as White Sox fans, have to ask ourselves. Ozzie Guillen must be locked up as a Manager for years to come after all this. And I bet that those people in the North are probably green with envy now. Yes, I am talking about the ones who are over at Addison and Clark, or over at the more famous Waveland Avenue. What do you think they're thinking now?
Well, that is all I have to say. Just think about what is going to happen in the near future with this team, I really hope that it stays together for a very long time, but with Free Agency, you just don't know sometimes. |
